Our minister of defense promised to stop the Qassam barrage “in a few hours” yesterday. So far we are still counting the hours. But promise of a minister is only what it is – a promise of a minister.
On the other hand… no, actually on both hands: Olmert has a serious problem with his vice- (or deputy- or who the heck knows-) PM Shimon Peres. According to Haaretz:
Vice premier Shimon Peres (Kadima) on Monday voiced skepticism over the reaction of the government and the citizens of Israel to Qassam rockets.
“We have to stop the hysteria we are all rousing. Instead, we must say: ‘We will get through this, we won’t leave here.’ What happened? Qassams, shmassams! Kiryat Shmona was also fired upon for years.”
This is one turbulent priest (of geriatric variety), whom I wouldn’t mind seeing pensioned off. Or simply muzzled, for public safety reasons. Ideas, anyone?
I wish that Ariel Sharon can come out of his coma (and repalce that snake Ehud Olmert as Prime Minister) and have Shimon Peres switch situations with him.
Great Caesar’s ghost, I can’t believe that quote is real. At first I thought the snoop man was pulling my leg but apparently Shimon Perez is a real douche bag.
Protest! I do not pull no legs on no Tuesdays!
Besides – Shimek is not a douche bag. Just an old coot with “use before” date somewhere in the last century. Cannot be more precise, unfortunately.
